Catalogue Number 153291
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets Fumarate Hydratase
Synonyms Fumarate hydratase, FH, fumarase, Fh1, Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer, HLRCC
Host Mouse
Tissue Kidney
Disease Keywords Cancer
Model Conditional KO
Relevance Fumarate hydratase – which can be found in either a mitochondrial or cytosolic form - is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible hydration and dehydration of fumarate to malate. Signal sequences located in the protein dictate the subcellular location of each FH isoenzyme. The cytosolic form is involved in the metabolism of amino acids and fumarate and the mitochondrial form is involved in the Krebs Cycle (tricarboxylic acid cycle or the citric acid cycle). Germline mutations of FH are responsible for hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal-cell cancer (HLRCC)1.
Conditional Yes
Conditional Description Deletion of fumarate hydratase can be achieved by intracellular expression of Cre recombinase
Research Area Cancer, Drug Discovery & Development, Metabolism
